I can only use an old tower for messing around with DAZ3D. My specs on it are:
Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 @ 2.66GHz and 1023MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti.

GPU rendering is out of the question with such low VRAM but CPU rendering works fine. It's slow (a 1080p scene with one figure+BG takes 8 hours to make), but it works.

My question is if such heavy load can do long term damage to the CPU? I'd like to give overnight rendering a try for a few months with it to practice, but I'm concerned if it will kill this good old CPU of mine.
And I don't mean overheating but any other potential damage that only shows over a long period of time. But if overheating is an issue it got at the highest 64 Celsius and only around 75-80% CPU usage at most for the entire time for the renders. It's not overclocked and I'd like to keep it that way. I assume that's probably why it stayed so cool.

I have a full body morph, but I would like it to only affect the right arm + hand of my character.

Is there a way to do that?

If yes, how?

Thank you for the help!

Also, I'm trying to create a skid mark effect on the ground behind the griffon to show how far he traveled when he crashed slid landed.

The preview looks good, but the render is rather lacking.

I hope someone can help with this. Thanks.

I am having an issue with zeroing/restoring poses on Genesis. Whenever I do so, I am still getting values for the Bend and Side-Side parameters of the head and neck. I've tried to zero these in the parameter settings, but they still default to the values as soon as I try to zero the pose again.

Any suggestions as to what I can do to fix this?

Thanks!

For example in the attached image would it allow me to lengthen the sleeves on the characters blouse/shirt ?

thanks.

A five minute simulation would be great... you can experiment with subtlties.  But 20 minutes per simulation on top of the render time (because you don't really know what it looks like until it renders) makes the products almost unusable.

I have tried to follow settings as best as possible, but am I missing something?

Setting "Start Bones From memorized Pose" to Off is part of it (otherwise it is an hour simulation.)

If I am missing some settings that could speed things up, I wouold really appreciate some tips.

I don't mean to be calling out this hair product, or the creator. I have expreienced similar results with other dforce hair products I have bought that make them hard to use as an mid-level amatuer.

The product description says “A PDF tutorial on how to use L.I.E. tattoos is included”, but I can’t find it. Does anyone know where I could look for this?

So, I've picked up the beautiful looking Japanese Courtyard by NyanCat, and while it appears great from the icons and promos in my library, I havn't been able to actually use it!

I am wondering if maybe there are a number of others with fairly decent rigs that still have issues even loading this as I do. (I'm running Win10 x64, Ryzen7 1800x 3.6 ghz cpu, x2 Nvidia GTX 1080ti, and storage is on a samsung 850 evo array of ssd)

I've managed to get daz to load this twice out of at least 15 attempts, and those two times as soon as I attempted to pan the camera Daz locks up.  Is this asset extremely resource heavy? I can't imagine why it would be so bad as to crash me reliably. Stonemason's urban future is running off of my HDD external drive and doesnt bog down like this even with 3 subdivided figures and props.

I've tried reinstalling the content, in the off chance it was corrupted. I've done so across more than one drive. No luck.
 

Any hints are greatly appreciated, as I really would like to use this asset.

1. Emiyo
2. dForce clothing (I tried two different outfits)

Steps:

• Click on Simulation Settings tab
  • My Simulation Settings tab is empty, no tools, nothing
• When I right click on the tab and select  "Simulate" I get an error
  • "Simulation Error" "Error perrparing objects to simulate"

I have a bit of a desperate problem here. 

I have a big scene with a lot of objects, so far, it rendered fine. Render times were surprisingly awesome. 

Then I installed D/S 4.11 and suddenly memory usage and render times are through the roof, I sometimes can barely turn a camera angle anymore in texture shaded view and so on. 

Deinstalled 4.11, twiddled a little. Working with the scene works ok again, but any little test render still takes 15 minutes. 

I did a test with and without a lot of shrubbery and did some screen shots. Maybe someone here can help me find what the problem is. I already updated my GPU driver. 

The render passes actually go pretty fast, it's the setup time til the render starts that takes forever and all my memory. 

Attached are screenshots of the setup before it starts rendering. First with the shrubbery visible, then without. 

System settings as follows: 

Intel Core i5-7400 3 GHz

16GB RAM

NVidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB

What to fix? Please help.

When I move the figure x, y or z tran the disk may move away from it but is still linked to it. In the example attachment any figure I click on will reveal the associated "disk" on the ground.

I don't know the extent of the issue - my immediate reaction is that it's very annoying & I can't remove it. Anyone else experience this?

I have a problem. I try exporting my models as a .dae file, which is the file format for Collada. Every time I try to export in that format, it saves the textures, but does create the .dae file. It gives me an error dialog box telling me to check the log.

And I noticed just several minutes ago that the rigging fails to load into Daz Studio. I don't know if this is the cause of the problem with exporting my Daz models as Collada files. Any one else have this trouble before? And if so, how do I go about troubleshooting the problem?

I can't add new items, and the previous items are listed as "in cart".

I tried to clear my browser cache, and tried both in Firefox and Chrome, nothing seems to work.

Could use some help, thanks :)

I tried to use the Salwar Kameez, but the scarf always slides down the arm when doing the sForce simulation. Yes, I know that there's a weight map included to fix that and I applied it, yet it doesn't seem to work.

Any other hint what to do?

You can the main figure in maya is just thrown out of place, skeleton is one side, clothes are in another + the ground is not illuminated well... Can someone help me with this please?

Getting the DIM content was easy- point the content directory manager to it, refresh metadata and I was back up and running in no time. 

I then realised that I had downloaded a ton of content using Daz connect. So I found the content in "my daz connect library" copied it to the new pc as I did with the dim content. went into the content directory manager, pointed it to the new content path, but it isn't seeing any of it. If I download a new file, it adds it to the new folder, so that's all correct, but it isn't seeing everything there. 

How do I get it to recognise all the other content?
